The Pikler approach is based on a respectful relationship between an adult and infant, through choreographed tender care moments, a naturally paced motor development, free movement and uninterrupted play.

This website aims to hold as much information as possible on the work of Dr Emmi Pikler in the English language. It is a collection of links, videos and articles, found and brought together in one place for anyone searching for information on Dr Emmi Pikler and the Pikler Approach.Right now there is a distinct lack of information on Pikler in the English language.The Association Pikler-Lóczy Hungary began training in English in 2004, prior to that, the information about what Pikler was doing with her work and research at the Association Pikler-Lóczy Hungary (previously known as Lóczy) came to the English speaking world through other people and their interpretations of her teachings.

Even today, her books are still only to be found in Hungarian, Italian, Spanish and German, though we are lucky enough to have some translated pieces of Dr Pikler's writing, articles from Dr Anna Tardos (Dr Emmi Pikler's daughter and President of the Association Pikler-Lóczy Hungary), articles by colleagues from the Association Pikler-Lóczy Hungary, and a collection of pieces from other writers, giving us a greater understanding of the genius of Pikler.

Thank you to everyone who has written or filmed the information that is represented in The Pikler Collection. Your contribution to this pool of knowledge is greatly appreciated by many.

This website is a living website where things can be added. There will be new additions to the growing list of people directly influenced by the Association Pikler-Lóczy Hungary and their English training courses.Please get in touch if you have something you think should be considered for adding to The Pikler Collection.
